In answer to this Devon picked CalTony up and threw her into the back ccabin. Then he kicked Gissle over herthe threshold, slammed the door and Thilocked it. bar

Philip Machauley had paddled away tafrom the Dirty Mary with a dull, Isick tear for the girl he had had to toleleave behind. To fight single-handed a cadrunken man with a gun was fool- sahardy and would do little Tony no tongood. the

When he reached the corner of the ionlake he ran his craft ashore and satfor a long time thinking. Suddenly stahe saw through the dusk that the ca- thenal boat had left its moorings and was pmoving slowly northward In the teeth breof the rising wind. With an ejacula- Totion he shoved off and was out In theboiling surf. Wherever that boat went .,he decided to go, too.

As he paddled carefully along, he thecould see the shadows of two men inthe glimmer of the little light in the Phsmall pilot house. Then Reggle was dothere with Devon. but where was itTony?

One small window in the canal boat hetgave forth a dim light He felt within tohim that she was there where thatlight was, alone and suffering. What dahad she thought of his allowing him-self to be forced away from her whenshe needed him most? His teeth came detogether sharply. He was no coward,this Philip MacCauley, this captain ofthe Salvation army. kh

Suddenly he caught sight of a pass-Ing shadow in the cabin, and his heart arleapt up within him. 'Twas the shad- hiow of a girl walking up and down. I foGrimly his teeth set into his under lip heand with one deep thrust of the pad- pldle into the water, he sent the canoe onheadlong toward the canal boat Then fit was that a girl's face came to thewindow.

The canoe almost crashed againstthe side of the bigger boat as It came desidewlse of it, and Philip caught at It

safe her with me, and I suppose they forethink you're drowned by this time. beCan't you step out, dear?"

She was trembling, so be had to pick melher up and lift her out in his arms. toThen he carried her under an over I cihanging rock and placed her on the whsand. '

Through many sobs and tears. she wetold him all that had happened on the thecanal boat, and that her father had gocsaid her mother was dead. And so litftouched was Philip MacCauley, he felt whthe tears rim his own lashes. For a binlong time, in fact until the rain ceased 'to beat upon the rocks and shore, they herstayed under cover. Most of the timethey were silent, most of the time Phil- tin'ip held the curly head against his fitbreast. When the dawn began to break FTonnibel roused herself COK

"I'm goin' away now." she said."I've got to go to my friends. And batI can't tell you just how much I'm pla

thankin' you.""But if I let you go," protested qul

Philip, "I'll never see you again. Oh,don't do that Tony, I couldn't stand "Dit now I" r"

"I couldn't, either," she said underher breath. "I'll be comin' back here an:to this hole some day." d

"When?" asked Philip, eagerly. "T do-day?"

Tonnibel shook her head. Pe"Nope," she replied wearily. 'Tm r

dead beat out.""And I forgot that," cried the boy. di

'Tony, darling, will you-will youkiss me before you go?"

Two arms shot out and clasped Daround his neck. Two eager lips methis In such passionate abandon that hefor a long time after Tony and Gussle mihad gone away toward the boulevardPhilip MacCauley lay face downward deon the shore, the sun peeping at himfrom the eastern hill.

Paul Pendlehaven lay wide awake lyIn his bed, his sunken eyes filled with todarkened sorrow. His brother hadstayed with him the most of the night shand now sat beside him. yo

"Will you sleep?" asked Doctor !oJohn.

"I'll try," was the response. "Icould if I knew where she was."Doctor John reached over and took

his brother's thin hand."The morning may bring her back,"

he said soothingly. "And Paul, oldman, if you worry Uke this, you'll be hiback where you were four weeksag."

The invalid sighed heavily."Tve grown so accustomed to her," t

he said into excuse, "and somehow sinceyou told me of her people, I fear something may have happened to her."

"We'll hope for the beet," said JohnPendlebaven, rising. "Now If rundown for a wlnk or two will youa l U

auietly while rm gone?""Yea." came in a breath, and true to a

his word, Paul Pendlehaven scarcelybreathed for a long while after hisbrother went out, although his heavygray eyes stared at the breaking dawn.If anyone had told him a month ago,be could have longed for any humanbeing as be now longed for Tony De-vone, e wouldn't have believed It. Hedreaded the day without her dearmle beanding over him. Perhaps b

forcibly lifted the pitiful hurt face ashe could look at It.

"Tony," he began gravely, "I com-mend you to tell me what happenedto you. Tell me instantly. If I knew,I could take steps to punish the ruaanwho dared to do this thing."

That was Just what Tony didn'twant. Hadn't she sworn to Edith Inthe presence of the infiLite Christ, thatgood Shepherd who had given up Hislife for His sheep, that no matterwhat Uriah did she wouldn't peach onhim?

The tears were still rolling downher cheeks from under lowered lids.

"You have so helped me, Tony," con-tinued Pendlehaven, "and yet you ro.fuse to let me do what I can."

She tried to think of something tocomfort him.

"But sometimes daddies and hue.bands beat their women folks," she ex-plained.

"Then your father whipped you?"quizzed the doctor.

"That I can't tell," said the girlt."Don't make me. .. Oh, Lordy,Im all tuckered out."

It was of no use to put questionsany more, thought Pendlehaven. Hewas persuaded that her father haddone this dreadful thing.

At eight o'clock, when Dr. JohnPendlehaven softly entered the sick-room he found his brother in soundslumber, and Tony Devon. her facediscolored with bruises, fast asleep inthe chair by the bedside.

It was w stubborn Tony that facedDoctor John that morning. Adroitly hetried to draw from her the reason forher extreme paleness, for the dartmarks stretched across her face, andthe meaning of the shudders that sud-denly attacked her.

"I can't tell," she reiterated in dis.tress as she had to his brother. "Pleasedon't ask me."

That her mother was dead, she firm-ly believed. This she did tell the doe.tor between many sobs and tears.

"I'll never see her ever any more,"she told him tremulously. "And ifyou'll let me, I' live here forever andforever and take care of Doctor Paul."

"My brother can't get along withoutyou, dear," he said, deeply touched. "Ifyou had seen how he grieved lastnight, you wouldn't have made thatremark."

"I know he likes me," said the girt,sighing, "and I love him. Why, I lovehim-"

She searched the man's face andcaught his mile.

"Better than you do me?" he camein with.

"Yes," said Tonnlbel, honestly, "butyou next-" Then she thought ofPhilip, of the hours he had held heragainst his breast, of the kiss in themorning's dawn, and she fell into abashful silence.

When Doctor Pendlehaven told Mrs.Curtis that Tony had returned, herface drew down in o sulky frown,

"But we needn't care," Katherianaid afterward, "she doesn't bother us

much. For my part I can't see howCousin Paul stands her."

"John says Paul almost died lastsght," took ap Mrs. Curt. "I sp.pose sbs one of the thingsl wevegot to stand I a boome ran by an oldbeeblor and a grieving widower."

"To say nothing o a father with adaughter lost somewhere to thewworld," supplemented Katherinela.

"There's no daner of Caroline's r atuning after all these years," saidMrs. Curtis. "IffM-that girl hadn'tcome, Paul wouldn't have lived long.John told me as hmseMt I almoethoped that-
